Abstract
Refugees are people who have fled their country of origin and are residing in another country. They may receive asylum on the basis of their persecution due to political stance or membership in a social group that is targeted because of religion, race, or nationality. While they may not fit the strict definition of persecuted refugee, they may qualify for subsidiary or temporary protected status as a refugee fleeing war or natural disaster by a country or by the United Nations. Most refugees reside in low‐ or middle‐income countries that struggle to support the influx. Many are not allowed to work and therefore have to survive through aid and/or income generated through the informal economy. As climate change and its associated scarcity of resources and natural disasters create more climate refugees, international bodies and individual states will face growing pressure to meet the needs of those who cannot return to the countries they leave.
